The Wilton Community Association Inc.
The Wilton Community Association Inc. is a Canadian nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering community spirit and promoting social cohesion in Wilton, Ontario. It is an incorporated entity registered as a Canadian charity under Business Registration Number 812960045RR0001.
History and Background
The association is closely linked to the historic Wilton Hall, a limestone building originally constructed in the 1840s as the Wilton Wesleyan Methodist Church. Over time, as Wilton's population declined, the building changed use and was at risk of closure. In 1969, the Wilton Women's Institute purchased the building for $1 with the intent to preserve it as a community centre hosting events such as dinners, concerts, and parties.
By the late 1990s, significant restoration was required, prompting local community efforts to preserve Wilton Hall. Due to ongoing maintenance challenges, ownership was transferred to the local township in 2012 for a nominal fee, accompanied by the formation of the Wilton Community Association to manage and operate the hall as a community and cultural centre. The association’s mandate focuses on fostering community spirit and encouraging public use of the facility[5].
Mission and Programs
The Wilton Community Association Inc. operates with the primary objective of promoting community engagement and social connectivity among Wilton residents. It organizes and supports various programs designed to preserve and operate Wilton Hall while bringing community members together through social, cultural, and recreational activities. These programs aim to guarantee the long-term sustainability of community spaces and strengthen local relationships[4].
Services and Activities
The association provides a range of community-oriented services, which include:
- Organizing community events and social gatherings
- Managing the historic Wilton Hall as a hub for cultural and recreational activities
- Supporting family and individual services within the Wilton area
- Facilitating social assistance and health-related community initiatives[3]
Organization and Governance

🚨 AED Temporarily Out of Service 🚨 Please note that the AED (Automated External Defibrillator) located on the back wall of the Wilton General Store is currently out of service for maintenance. We’re working quickly to ensure it’s back and fully operational as soon as possible, and we’ll let you know as soon as it’s available again. 💓 Why is a Community AED Important to Wilton? In a rural community like ours, where emergency services may take longer to arrive, having a publicly accessible AED can save lives. When someone suffers a sudden cardiac arrest, every second counts—an AED can deliver a life-saving shock before paramedics arrive, dramatically increasing the chance of survival. Thank you for your understanding, and for helping make Wilton a safer place for everyone. – Wilton Community Association (fb)
